A farmer just outside of town stopped in today after work wondering if I would be interested in a cottonwood tree that he had fell down 2 years ago. I am not short on wood and though I have never burned cottonwood, it seems from the board that most people bypass it. Anyways I agreed to go out and look at it and if nothing else help him cut it up just to be able to work the saws a little. Was surprised to find a two trunk tree uprooted, bark off, held off the ground by the rootball and it seem to be fairly solid. About 20' on each trunk a bit bigger then a basketball at the trunk to about a volleyball at the end. Finally to my question if this isn't rotten would it be dry enough to throw in my OWB now or will there be to much moister in it yet? My thought is if it is not ready to burn now I will probably let it go not wanting to store it for a year.
